A sauna built with love
A sauna in a meadow, backed with trees, surrounded by nature. A large window to soak up the expansive views of sky, sea and hills. A Huum woodfired stove keeps you toasty after a dip in the icy plunge.
Camping in solitude
Bring that book, put the kettle on, kick off your shoes and relax.
Camping in comfort
A beautiful bell tent in a natural, organic 4 acre meadow with all the comforts of home. Sleep in a handcrafted wooden bed with a comfy mattress. Fire up the log burner, gaze at the stars, wake up with the birds and remember what it is to live in the moment.

When you come to stay…
Welcome to the Moleshill Retreat, we hope you love it here as much as we do! In lock-down we created this simple off-grid campsite for the family to relax and enjoy the breathtaking views of sky, sea and mountains.
In 2022 we decided to share it with you.
The kitchen cabin is equipped with, (enough for 4)
Mugs, crockery, cutlery, salad bowls, salad spinner, jugs, kitchen utensils, frying pans, steamer and small saucepans, large gas kettle, Foker 2 gas ring stove, lighters, cafetiere, tea strainer, bread bin, chopping boards, cheese grater, water carriers, a camping fridge, wine glasses, compost bin, sink and drainer. We have thoughtfully attempted to cover the essentials for a camping kitchen, but please let us know if you require anything else.
Consumables
Washing up Liquid, hand soap, Tea, salt and pepper, oil for cooking, loo roll and kitchen roll are provided but are not replenished indefinitely. You will be left a generous amount of firewood and kindling for an average night’s use, however if you wish to stay up until the early hours please leave the suggested donation for the extras please.

We appreciate that you will probably bring your own dog bowls, beds and blankets, however I do keep bowls and a towel in the cabin if you're bringing your doggy. We do ask that dogs don't use the sofa or bed in the tent and they use their own bed. There will be instructions for dog waste.

We have a highchair and plastic kitchenware available at no extra cost, but need to be requested, preferably before you arrive so I can prepare.

Thank you for all of the lovely reviews, sorry it's a bit wordy it was hard to choose just a few!
Sauna guest reviews
`The Moleshill retreat is a really nourishing and special place and a very accessible way to have a mini retreat and regulate one’s nervous system in a few hours. Lara creates a welcoming experience with little touches that add an extra layer of pampering.. I loved the combination and contrast of the wildness of a west wales landsape with the ice cold water and the warmth of the sauna. It’s a great way to catch up with friends too!'
`Lara is the perfect host explaining everything fully, thinking of all the small details from towel wraps for your hair to the tastiest warm drinks and refreshing flavoured waters. The whole experience is just perfect for retreating from the hustle of every day life and treating yourself to some quality r&r. 10/10 highly recommend it xx'
Sauna guest reviews
`The most tranquil experience I’ve ever had, beautiful and calm surroundings with Lara looking after us so well. Ice bath seems daunting at first, but after a quick dip, then the sauna - so relaxing and rejuvenating! Best sleep and felt like my whole body had had a workout. Can’t wait to return!'
`The sauna’s setting is wonderful, the view from there is absolutely breathtaking, so peaceful and relaxing. After a sauna and ice bath session in those stunning surroundings you feel very refreshed and rejuvenated! I would highly recommend as an experience for a couple to spend quality time together.'
Camping guest review
`Our stay was short but sweet,
Lara was more than helpful and the place was so well stocked, we had everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday.
The rainy weather didn’t dampen our spirits either, as the sauna kept us warm and cosy - it was the highlight of our stay!'
`Wow, we absolutely loved our stay.
It's the first time we have glamped and Lara and family have made it an absolute home from home.
The surroundings are beautiful, loved hearing the sheep and wildlife and on a clear day you can see the sea glistening in the distance.
We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and the outdoor shower area was a particular favourite with me.
Thank you so much for a wonderful experience.'
Camping guest review
`The areas of the 4 acre field that have been left to grow are the perfect habitat for all manner of insects, birds and various other creatures. We saw so many huge dragonflies, butterflies and bees living their best lives! At night you can hear the crickets constantly chirping, the owls hooting and the odd fox screeching in the distance.
We were lucky to be staying during a meteor shower so had spectacular views both nights as the skies were crystal clear.
I think I've covered everything, we had just the most lovely, peaceful, relaxing time and if you didn't already know, I highly recommend Moleshill Retreat!'
